- In the Sunday Travel section, the World Watch column erroneously reported that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control had advised deferring non-essential travel to China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam because of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The CDC, while listing these as countries to which SARS has spread, has not warned against travel to any of them.

- A story in Section 1 Saturday about a battle for control of a key Iraq oil facility incorrectly characterized Iraq's Rumailah oil field as producing 14 percent of the world's oil supply. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that the Rumailah crude oil production capacity is 1.3 million barrels per day, which would be less than 2 percent of total world oil production capacity, according to Bob Tippee, editor of Oil&Gas Journal. But that figure is the equivalent of about 14 percent of recent U.S. crude oil imports, he said.

- A story in the Metro West edition Friday reported that a Plymouth Voyager driven by Robert Olsson of Addison struck a tractor trailer in one of two accidents that occurred within minutes of each other in the westbound lanes of Interstate Highway 88 near Illinois Highway 59. In fact, state police say Olsson's van was struck by a tractor trailer that had been hit initially by another van.
